PRINCE GEORGE – One of the very familiar faces around Council Chambers will no longer be present. Murry Krause was elected to Prince George City Council from 1996 to 1999 and then again from 2002 to the present. And much has changed in a Councillor’s role in those 23 years.
“It was very much a part-time job,” he says. “With the growing expectations of Council, the growing complexity of being a Councillor and running a City, a Corporation. It’s really changed dramatically.”
Krause is a past president of the Union of BC Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities … playing a role in securing things like the federal gas tax … of which the City gets three million dollars annually. It was also Krause’s cause to rename the former Fort George Park to Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park.
